Plant the bought camellia in a flowerpot, which is called a serving basin. Whether camellia is planted properly, whether it is managed properly 1 ~ 2 months after planting, whether camellia can be planted alive and whether it can be cultivated well after planting. If the soil is used properly and the watershed is managed properly, the management of camellia will be more extensive in the future Otherwise, even if it is carefully managed, it will often get twice the result with half the effort.

Tea flowerpots should be divided into six steps:

The first step is to choose a good basin and prepare the soil. Some people think that the bigger the pot, the better, which is wrong. Camellia should be packed in pots, depending on the size of the camellia you buy, and the size of the pot should be commensurate with the size of the camellia plant. Generally speaking, 1 ~ 2-year-old seedlings should be planted in 8 ~ 10 cm soil pot, and 3 ~ 4-year-old tea flower seedlings should be planted in 10 ~ 14 cm soil pot. The canopy diameter of large camellia plants can be 1 ~ 2 times larger than the diameter of hukou. Soil preparation is to prepare slightly acidic sandy soil suitable for camellia growth, and prepare three kinds of soil, namely coarse soil, middle soil and fine soil.

Step 2, cover the bottom cover of the basin with broken tiles and plastic screens. The newly bought pottery basin or clay basin should be soaked in water for 2 ~ 3 days before use. Wash the broken tiles and screens on the washbasin and basin bottom, both inside and outside. After air-drying, put a plastic screen window larger than the hole in the basin to prevent pests such as earthworms from entering the basin. Then cover two or three pieces of broken tiles alternately on the plastic window screen, with the convex surface facing upwards, which is convenient for ventilation and drainage. Some people only use a few broken tiles to cover the hole at the bottom of the basin without putting plastic screens. After a long time, pests such as earthworms enter, soil, gravel and sand block the hole, and water accumulates in the basin, which will cause camellia to suffocate and die.

Step three, sprinkle a layer of gravel and river sand washed with clear water on the window screen and broken tiles. Gravel is the so-called "flying" pebble selected from the sand used in the construction site. Cover the broken basin with a layer of river sand, which can adjust the dryness and wetness of the basin soil and prevent the breeding of pests and diseases to some extent.

Fourthly, the camellia plants in the upper pot are pruned, peeled and cut off. For large or medium-sized camellia in the upper basin, part of the topsoil around the soil ball should be stripped. In early spring, you can peel more; In rainy season and autumn, the pot can be peeled less. Wash and disinfect camellia seedlings when they are put into pots. When peeling soil and washing roots, dead roots, diseased roots and moldy roots must be cut off, and long and thick old roots can be shortened appropriately to promote the germination of more new roots. If the branches of Camellia in the upper pot are too dense and too long, the long branches can be shortened according to the requirements of ventilation, light transmission and shaping, and some or all delicate inner branches, dead branches and diseased branches can be cut off.

Step 5, spread a layer of coarse-grained soil on the gravel and river sand, then put the plants in the middle position on the coarse-grained soil, straighten them, and add medium-grained soil around the soil ball. When adding soil, slowly add it with one hand and slowly add it with the other. At the same time, gently lift the plant upward and add soil to a place 5 ~ 6 cm below the soil ball. If the newly added soil is dry, just pat it on the edge of the basin a few times; If the new soil is wet, you can pick up the basin and rub it gently on the ground a few times. The gap between the basin and the soil is filled but not very solid. Finally, add fine-grained soil on it. When fine-grained soil is added, it can be compacted by bamboo or hand (the root can't be broken), so that there is no gap between the basin soil and the root, and it is added to a place slightly higher than the soil ball and 4 ~ 5 cm below the basin edge.

Step 6, after putting the camellia plants into the basin, spray water with a fine-hole watering can for 2-3 times until the water is discharged from the drainage hole at the bottom of the basin. Spraying leaves with a fine spray can wash away the soil left when planting leaves. You can also use basin immersion irrigation. Put the flowerpot in a big pot, and fill the water in the pot to half the height of the flowerpot. You can slowly suck the water out from the small hole at the bottom of the pot until the topsoil on the pot surface is soaked through. Then put the flowerpot sprayed with water in a hidden place for irrigation 10 days, so that the camellia can reduce the evaporation of water on the soil surface and gradually recover its growth. This is called "serving pot". Don't fertilize during the "serving basin". After "taking the basin", it can be gradually placed in a half-sunny and half-cloudy place and turned into normal management.
